畜禽表观遗传学主要研究领域及研究进展
The Main Research Fields and Progress of Livestock Epigenetics
摘要
Abstract
Epigenetics means that there are heritable changes in gene expression while without a change in DNA sequence.In the recent years,the researches of epigenetic regulation on livestock field have developed rapidly.The main studied domestic animals include poultry,swine,bovine, sheep and goat,thus a new subject———livestock epigenetics is developing.Livestock epigenetics mainly uses various kinds of epigenetic modifications involved in DNA methylation,histone modi-fication and non-coding RNAs regulation to study livestock growth and development,disease re-sistance,reproduction and economic traits,and so on.Here,we reviewed the mainly research fields and progress on livestock epigenetics,the trends of livestock epigenetics studies were also dis-cussed to comprehensively understand the molecular basis of the complex traits formation of live-stock and poultry,which greatly broadened the research and strategy to improve the economic traits of livestock and poultry.关键词
